Adding a New Editor to People in Names
Create viewDef
3. Create a new layout and draw within it a clView. Within the clView, draw a newtLabelInputLine.
Edit the following slots of the newtLabelInputLine:
-
path -
kColorSlotSym
-
label -
"Favorite Color"
-
labelCommands -
["Red", "Green", "Blue"]
4. Add the following slots to the clView to make it a viewDef:
-
name -
"Color"
-
symbol -
kNameColorEditorViewDefSym
-
type -
'editor
In addition to those slots, there are two others we need to provide. The first is a slot which ensures that this viewDef doesn't show up in the i/o Box. Just as the other viewDefs (e-mail and so on) don't appear in the Show picker of the i/o Box, our color one shouldn't either.
5. Add a protection slot to the clView:
-
protection -
'private
